Is there seriously no way to see edit histories, even as mod?
I can only see that posts were edited by someone at some point, but only the most recent edit it seems. And nothing about what exactly got changed.

(I was one of those people who made their history publicly visible on DC, on the theory that I'm open about what I say and don't mind others knowing that I change things occasionally.)

So.. in other words: Until you can find the edit history or a time machine, you got nothing on me!

TBH, I’m kind of glad about that. I’ve never liked that little line most forum software adds (some more obviously than others) that tells people you edited your post. Partly it's because I don’t think it’s anyone else’s business what I edit about my posts, and in fact I don’t see why other visitors need even be told about the post having been edited at all. Another part is that someone else being able to read the post as it was before I edited out my typos and/or added the things I should have remembered before I hit Submit just goes completely against my mildly paranoid nature.

There is an edit pencil next to the timestamp, though.

Browse around this forum that I used to visit for an example of the opposite.
